Edgewater residents will soon enjoy a major new cultural addition to the neighborhood as the Edgewater Chamber of Commerce prepares to launch its first-ever Edgewater Music Fest.

Headlined by Chicago hip-hop/funk sensation Ric Wilson and Cincinnati-based stadium rockers Foxy Shazam, the festival demonstrates the Chamber's commitment to showcasing diverse talent that reflects 'the creative energy that defines Edgewater.' Beyond music, the event will feature local vendors including Edgewater Candles, DMApothecary, Hello Thai, Beard & Belly, and Urban Table. Families can enjoy the festival's Kidz Zone in the Broadway Armory parking lot, offering activities ranging from face painting to music lessons and circus equipment exploration.
